keep in mind the number one in two leaders will be mitch mcconnell and john cornyn. with all of that, we had some interesting messages for the two republican leaders on election eve. on election eve john boehner said as michael noted, hey we have as much of the a mandate as he does but that's softened the next day i saying we want to work with the president and we know we need a budget deal and we know we need revenues from that budget deal. mitch mcconnell on the other hand despite suffering a significant loss in his party and the senate was pugnacious and said there is no mandate for the failed policies for the president and cooperation, he better come to us and understand that if it doesn't pass through the house, it's a dead letter. you might take from that you have real opportunities in the house but the opposite is true. the fact is whether mitch believes it or not or was saying it for effect right now, the senate has a group of problem solvers who had been waiting to bust out after this election and we have already sena behind the scenes in the two months lead
